I do not see how TortoiseSVN could work because neither TortoiseSVN
nor Subclipse are directly involved in this behavior, we both call
Subversion API and it is responsible for this.

Your syntax is not valid. You do not specify an absolute path
D:/workspace.... in the property, you specify just a folder name.
